A PLSS (Public Land Survey System) map is used in the United States by the federal government to divide areas of public domain into subsections and then sub-subsections, and so on and so forth. Within this system, land is typically divided into areas of 6 square-miles, initially, and then continue to be further divided. Markers are then placed on each corner of the square to help mark the territory. This map has divided Franklin County, Alabama into differed sections, and has numbered each column and row of the grid so that different parts of the county are more easily found.
